“Current services for people who suffer major trauma are not good enough. There is unacceptable variation, which means that if you are unlucky enough to have an accident at night or at the weekend, in many areas you are likely to receive worse quality of care and are more likely to die. The Department of Health and the NHS must get a grip on coordinating services through trauma networks, on costs and on information on major trauma care, if they are to prevent unnecessary deaths.”
Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, 5 February 2010

The Limits page is available from a link above the search box on all PubMed pages, including the PubMed homepage.
The Limits page includes limit selections previously available on the Advanced search page as well as additional limits for dates and search field tags. The functionality of Limits will not change; subsequent searches will include Limits until they are removed.
The “Limits Activated” displays above the results summary line on search results, and under the search box on the homepage and Advanced search page. Users may click either the Change link or the Limits link to return to the Limits page. The Remove link will deactivate selections for the current and subsequent searches.

Two new journals – Nanoscale and Polymer chemistry – have been launched by the Royal Society of Chemistry. We have free trial access to articles from Nanoscale until December 2010 and to Polymer Chemistry until December 2011. Access is only available on campus.
Polymer chemistry http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/PY/index.asp
Nanoscale http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/NR/index.asp
They can also be accessed by looking them up in Voyager.
Nanoscale will be publishing experimental and theoretical work across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Topics include Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials, Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies, Properties of nanoscale materials, Self-assembly and molecular organisation, Complex hybrid nanostructures, Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters, Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals, Molecular nanoscience, Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics, Nanomedicine. It is aimed at a cross disciplinary readership.
Polymer chemistry will be publishing advances in polymer chemistry encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas. It aims to provide a showcase for the ongoing efforts driving polymer chemistry, highlighting the creativity of the field and previously inaccessible applications. It is aimed at materials scientists and bioscientists as well as those working in polymer chemistry.
